The DS4208 delivers the blazing speed typical of laser scanners on both 1D and 2D bar codes, allowing you to accommodate 2D bar codes without sacrificing scanning quality or performance. Users never need to take time to align the bar code with the scanner or pause between scans. And since you can capture bar codes printed on paper labels or displayed on the screen of a mobile phone, retailers can accommodate customers who download mobile coupons, mobile loyalty cards and more. You get industry-leading scanning speed on every bar code; true point-and-shoot first time scanning simplicity on even damaged and poorly printed bar codes; and a durable design for all day everyday reliability — all at an affordable price.

Features and Benefits

Scan virtually any bar code on any medium; supports the technology your customers are embracing — electronic bar codes

Eliminates the need to align bar code and scanner

Easy integration with your existing technology environment; easily migrate to new hosts

Built to last, providing reliable operation despite spills and drops

Reduces management time and cost, from initial configuration to day-to-day management

All DS4208s require an interface cable.

What are 2d barcodes?

2D Barcodes are symbologies that are capable of storing more information than can normally be contained in a conventional linear barcode. These include:

	AZTEC – Excellent for viewing on cell phones and PDA displays:
	QR Code – Marketing & Transportation applications:
	DATAMATRIX – a square symbology, of varying densities used extensively in part marking and document ID as a large number of characters can fit in a small space:
	PDF417 – can be printed at a variety of aspect ratios and densities. Used in transportation, manifests, and personal ID including state driver’s licenses.

2D Barcodes can serve as portable data files, enabling the user to access information such as lot processing, shipment manifest, and serial number/sku data remote from the network database.

Most 2d codes require an imager, which algorithmically processes the image. Imager scanners are effectively digital cameras with integrated processors and therefore can also capture images such as signatures. As with linear barcode scanners, they can interface as a keyboard or serial emulation device, via USB, PS/2 or serial connection
